monkey business.
The creditors Of Lamborn & Gray, the
defunct bankers of Alliance, have be-
come very tired Of seeing their money
from distsnce in the hands Of assig-
nees, who, they allege, are In colluslon
with LambOrn in a conspiracy to de-
fraud them, Uriah Thomas, a creditor
to the extent of $4,000, Jonathan Mey-
ers, William II. Oyer and Mary A. Detch-
con, all creditors, filed petition asking
the appointment of Receiver for GER
tain property which they sllegs was
never turned over to the asslgnees. The
plaintiffs In this action charge that the
deal Ia rotten to the core, and that they
are the Victims Of high handed con-
spiracy to cheat and defraud them.
Their pleadings allege that Lamborn
q Gray made pretended assignment"
to Emery Miller and William Stallcup,
Of q part Of their property on the Gath
day Of December, 1888; that said pre-
tended assignment was made for the
purpose and with the intent Of defraud-
ing, cheating, hindering and delaying
the plaintiffs and other creditors In
the collection Of just claims. They
also claim that Levi L. Lamb0rn has
frRudulently transferred valuable real
estate to his SOL 8, his wife and to Hugh
Blakely, without consideration and for
the purpose of fraud. That he also
transferred many thousands of dollars
worth OF notes, contracts, bonds and
mortgages payable to Levi L. LamtOrh;
also four safes, valuable library, horses
and carriages and other items of per.
sOnal property. They also claim that
he has In his possession large sums Of
mSney. The pleadings innumerate
among the Items Of parsonal prop
erty thus fraUdulently transfer
red, mortgage against A. W.
Coates for $1,000 which ought
to have been turned over to the Credl.
tors; that Mrs. Lamborn has possession
of said mortgage and Is collecting the
interest thereon, and claims to own q
number Of other notes and other prop
erty which in reality are the property
of L. L. Lamb0rn, and which were
transferred without consideration
Since the date of the assignment he has
placed on record deed for his elegant
private residence, valued at $4,000 to
his wife. They also claim that he pur-
chased hOuee In the name Of his son,
Leroy, which he paid for out Of money
that belonged to his creditors; that he
purchased the old bank building for his
wife with creditors money, and put 1t
in her name; that he transferred his
valuable green houses to his aOn with
out consideration; and that since the
assignment he transferred to Hugh
Blakely about 100 town lots In Alliance
worth $4,000, without consideration
and for the purpose Of fraud; that the
assignees, StallCup and Miller, have all
along and still have knowledge Of these
fraudulent transactions. They say they
are p0werless to act and ask the court
to appoint receiver for the property
described In the pleadings.
The foregoing Is about the substance
Of the claims of the creditors. After
hearing the argument Of the counsel
Judge Raley appointed Mathew Early
receiver, and directed him to take
charge Of all the property mentioned,
Including the Leroy LambOrn house,
the Blakely lots, the greenhouses,
horses and carriages, the private
residence, the bank building, library,
safes, ect., and to collect the rents, inter.
est and profits. Karly was required to
give bond In the sum of $25.C6O, which
was furnished.
Armed with this order of the Court,
EARLY proceeded to Alliance with three
Canton policemen, who were jOi- ed at
Alliance by two more officers, when the
whole regiment moved against the
LsmbOTn fortress. Mrs. Lamborn ad.
mitted them to the house, when they
proceeded to the library and rolled ont
two safes and carried of the books.
They then proceeded to the stable and
hitched up good turnout and made of
with the entire find. The safes were
conveyed to the old bank building and
opened with sledge and jimmy. About
81, 700 In gold and paper money. several
gold watches, valuable jewelry, and
papers, the value OF which was not
made known, were found In the safes.
Whatever else may be said of Doc Lam.
born, nobody ever accused him Of being
0 fool, and the end is mot yet.
